Francesco Farioli’s players, lacking rhythm since mid-February, lost once again in Toulouse (2-1). The Violets temporarily enter the Top 10.

Beaten in Toulouse (2-1) while leading at the break, the Niçois are in tough territory after this fifth consecutive match without a victory in Ligue 1, which allows TFC to move away from the red zone on Sunday during the 24th day.

The trips follow one another and are similar for the Aiglons who have not won away from home since October 27 in Clermont (1-0). At the end of this seventh consecutive match without a victory away from the Allianz Riviera in the championship, the Azuréens (5th) missed the opportunity to get back on the podium and even saw Lille steal fourth place from them.

The weekends, however, are coming together in the best possible way for the TFC, which was already on a two-stage success at the Stadium against Lille (3-1), after also being behind by the score at the break.

By finally managing to achieve two wins in a row at home for the first time this season in L1, Toulouse has provisionally given itself a seven-point lead over play-off Lorient who will travel to Rennes at the end of the day. -noon.

A week after a sad draw at home against the red lantern Clermont (0-0), the Azuréens opened the scoring with a happy goal from Moffi after a ball blocked by Restes and taken by the knee of the Nigerian international ( 1-0, 8th).

Precious Gboho

The Toulouse goalkeeper then proved more effective thanks to a decisive intervention at close range in front of Guessand (38th) before Nice, the best defense in L1, scared themselves with two strikes from Donnum (43rd) and Sierro (45th) .

Like the previous week against LOSC, Toulouse finally caught up in five minutes. First after a ball lost by Perraud near his area allowing Kamanzi to serve Dallinga for his ninth goal of the season in L1 (1-1, 65th). Then immediately, on the first achievement since his arrival in the transfer window of the very precious Gboho (1-1, 69th).

Two goals were enough to extinguish a Nice team which stumbled again against Remains (82nd, 88th, 90th+1) and thus confirm the good dynamic started by the Violets since the break with this fourth victory in five matches.

During the next day on the Le Havre pitch, the TFC will try to confirm its good intentions away where it remains on three successes in a row. Nice, for its part, will absolutely have to react when hosting Montpellier if the Azuréens do not want to spoil everything near the final sprint.
